Switch owners: This dongle lets you use virtually any console controller with your Switch

If you’re a Nintendo Switch owner and not a huge fan of its gamepad or just prefer a traditional console controller, luckily there’s an affordable solution.

Utilizing Bluetooth and some other trickery, 8Bitdo’s Nintendo Switch dongle lets you use pretty much any Bluetooth-enabled gamepad from your other consoles with a Nintendo Switch, a PC, a Mac, or even a Raspberry Pi. Even the DualShock 4’s motion and rumble features work when you pair it with a Switch.

Normally, this sucker is usually priced at around $20 and we rarely ever see a deal on it, but today Amazon is offering up a 5% coupon that will save you about a dollar. Again, it’s not a huge discount, but it’s something you’ll definitely want if you’re fed up with the Switch gamepad. And truthfully, it’s a whole lot cheaper than a Switch Pro controller, especially if you have an extra console controller collecting dust.
